What do "flower packages" cost?

I want to start getting estimates for flowers, but I don't really know what they cost, so I can negotiate.
We're having a small wedding with or without MOH/BM (TBD) and no bouquet throwing.
 
Below are our 2 "needs" depending on venue selected, what do you think these SHOULD cost? (Wedding on a thursday, next October in East bay)

Venue 1:
Bridal bouquet
MOH bouquet (TBD)
2 Boutonnieres (1 TBD)
7 centerpieces (i can provide vases); I just want flowers in vase-nothing fancy

Venue 2 (centerpieces included from venue):
Bridal bouquet
MOH bouquet (TBD)
2 Boutonnieres (1 TBD)

    I do not know about packages.  None of the places I looked at really offered them.  Here is what I am being charged though.  Definitly not the cheapest place, but feel really good about the guy doing them.  I do not really think that a Thursday wedding is going to get you a discount with florists.

    Bridal Bouquet $175 (includes free toss bouquet, which I will just use as decor on escort card table since I am not tossing it)
    MOH Bouquet $85
    Boutonnieres $12.50 each (getting them for FI, BM, our dads, abd grandfathers)
    Corsages $27.50 each (getting for our moms and grandmothers)

    I am doing non-floral centerpieces as I looked into simple low square vases with flowers and they were going to be 75-95 a piece and I did not like them very much.

    Not sure if you need any ceremony flowers.  Just something else to consider.

    Hope this helps.

    It's almost impossible to give amounts without knowing what flowers you've selected, whether they are in season, and the types/sizes of arrangements.  I paid exorbitantly for my bouquet, but it made sense because I requested a rare orchid that was only in season in South America.
